Welcome back to Day 2 of our spotlight hops! Today, the team is shining the Verve light on Merry and Bright! I really think you're going to love this one:)
First off, I have to apologize for the pictures! I can't find my camera so I'm using my phone, haha! GRRR so frustrating! I've turned my house upside down and still can't find it. Guess I need to buy a new one, haha!
My original vision for this card, was to make these circles into ornaments and have them hanging from the top. However, I couldn't get the ribbon/string that would be hanging the ornaments to lay right, so I changed my mind last minute and this is what I got, ha! I actually still love it, just wish my idea had panned out. I'll have to try again:)
I stamped the sentiments and then randomly stamped snowflakes around the sentiments.
I added some Ice Stickles to the snowflakes for a little sparkle:)
And this is just a close up of the fun bow embellishments:)
Now you should be ready to move on and see what the rest of the team has for you today! Thanks for stopping by!
